Odd starting problem

fourteen-pin connector on the right front fender. I don't want to break it. Will have to do some research.

The cover slides off towards the rear of the car - disconnect the battery, pull the plug out carefully, and then slide the cover back. Watch out, the pins will jump out if you are not careful. I just did a complete rebuild of that 14 pin ( actually less wires) harness. check out this link for all the details.

Thanks Neil - you are the man, that's what I like about this forum

Looks like I have something to do this weekend!

James - good point about no shots of Jeannie - my iPhone is full of 928s - not one Jeannie shot!

^^^^^^
What is that about?! I have seen a whole lot of wiener (and I am not talking about Anthony Wiener either) in the pics and a bunch of 928's but narry one SUPER HOT GIRL like the lovely Jeannie! I guess I'll have to keep at it with my hot 928 babes!

Tuff Life James Ha

Mike dose your car crank over hard and low or dose it crank over fast like a normal car?

Hhhhhmmm Brad, I would say probably like normal really. About 1 full second before it catches and seems to have good speed on the revolutions. When it did not start,,,,absolutely nothing, with the exception of hearing the starter impeller pull back from the engine. No other clicking or attempted motor spinning or buzzing or winding or ...you get the point.

1/2 of my new relays just got here from Pelican. As soon as I get my Fuel Pump relay I will put about 5 new ones in (relays that might strand me ) along with some fuses.

The no-start has not happened since I cleaned the current 2 fuses I described earlier after I got back from SITM.

Right now my Central Warning Brake Pressure light finally comes on every time I touch the brakes instead of about every 4-500 miles. So I think one of my brake sensor switches on the bottom of the MC has finally died. I am going to have someone look at that for me this week, then change the relays/fuses, then start looking at getting the A/C working. Center vent is blowing hot air now so I think I now have the heater valve/hose issue. The Cruise control does not work at all now so I think the vacuum is screwed up with that tee valve. At least according to the threads I have seen on both issues.

More as I know it - right now I need to verify if the new relays fix the start issue, if not I am going to look to the 14 pin connector on the passenger side and the yellow wire that connects to the starter (thanks Wally P)
